PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR USE OF AND ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES (AS DEFINED BELOW) ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER.THESE TERMS INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT FUTURE CHANGES TO THESE TERMS, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES BY ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF BY A COURT PROCEEDING.

Terms of Use

Effective date: February 1, 2018

Welcome to substack.com (“Website”). Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our Website, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms (these “Terms”) or the Services, please contact us at hello@substack.com.

These Terms are a binding contract between you and Substack Inc. (“Substack,” “we” and “us”). You may use the Services as either a publisher of a Publisher Newsletter (as defined below) (“Publisher”) or as a subscriber to such Publisher Newsletter(s) (an “End User”). You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services. Your using the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy.

For clarity, these Terms often distinguish between provisions that apply to the Publishers, the End Users, or both. Each time these Terms refer to “you,” they are collectively referring to both Publishers and End Users. Publishers may offer Publisher Newsletters to End Users pursuant to their own end user license agreement and privacy policy (each, a “EULA”). End Users and Publishers will abide by the terms of any EULA, provided Substack prohibits Publisher (in each Publisher Agreement) from entering into EULAs that conflict with these Terms.

You represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract (or if not, you’ve received your parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the Services and gotten your parent or guardian to agree to these Terms on your behalf). If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity).

Will these Terms ever change?

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the Website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means.

If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective and notice has been provided, that means you agree to all of the changes.

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13; if you are a child under 13, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us personal information, please contact us at hello@substack.com.

What are the basics of using the Website?

You may be required to sign up for an account, and select a password and user name (“Substack User ID”). You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself. Failure to do so shall constitute a breach of these Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account. You may not select as your Substack User ID a name that you don’t have the right to use, or another person’s name with the intent to impersonate that person. You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission. Substack reserves the right to refuse registration of or cancel a Substack User ID in its discretion.

You will only use the Services for your own personal use, and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party, and only in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you. If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren’t authorized to use the Services. We can’t and won’t be responsible for your using the Services in a way that breaks the law.

You will not share your account or password with anyone, and you must protect the security of your account and your password. You’re responsible for any activity associated with your account.

Your use of the Services is subject to the following additional restrictions:

You represent, warrant, and agree that you will not contribute any Content or User Submission (each of those terms is defined below) or otherwise use the Services or interact with the Services in a manner that:

(a) Infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or any other rights of anyone else (including Substack);

(b) Violates any law or regulation, including, without limitation, any applicable export control laws;

(d) Jeopardizes the security of your Substack account or anyone else’s (such as allowing someone else to log in to the Services as you);

(e) Attempts, in any manner, to obtain the password, account, or other security information from any other user;

(f) Violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes;

(g) Runs Maillist, Listserv, any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Services, or any processes that run or are activated while you are not logged into the Services, or that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Services’ infrastructure);

(h) “Crawls,” “scrapes,” or “spiders” any page, data, or portion of or relating to the Services or Content (through use of manual or automated means);

(i) Copies or stores any significant portion of the Content;

(j) Decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services.

A violation of any of the foregoing is grounds for termination of your right to use or access the Services.

What are my rights in the Services?

The materials displayed or performed or available on or through the Services, including, but not limited to, text, graphics, data, photos, images, illustrations, newsletters (“Publisher Newsletters”), User Submissions (as defined below), and so forth (all of the foregoing, the “Content”) are protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property laws. You promise to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Services, and you won’t use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell, commercialize or otherwise exploit for any purpose any Content not owned by you, (i) without the prior consent of the owner of that Content or (ii) in a way that violates someone else’s (including Substack’s) rights. You understand that Substack owns the Services.

End Users subscribe to Publisher Newsletters directly through Publisher’s subdomain on Substack’s Services. End User won’t modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as expressly provided in this Section), create derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit any of the Services unless otherwise permitted in these Terms.

Publisher won’t modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as expressly provided in this Section), create derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit any of the Services unless otherwise permitted in these Terms.

The Services may allow you to copy or download certain Content; please remember that just because this functionality exists within the Services, doesn’t mean that all the restrictions above don’t apply – they do!

Do I have to grant any licenses to Substack or to other users?

Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Services is your “User Submission.” Some User Submissions are viewable by other users. In order to display your User Submissions on the Services, and to allow other users to enjoy them (where applicable), you grant us certain rights in those User Submissions. Please note that all of the following licenses are subject to our Privacy Policy to the extent they relate to User Submissions that are also your personally-identifiable information. For clarity, Publishers’ User Submissions include, but are not limited to, Publisher Newsletters, information Publishers provide to sign up for an account and obtain a Substack User ID, and any other text or photos Publishers upload to their subdomain on the Services. End Users’ User Submissions include but are not limited to information End Users provide to sign up for an account and obtain a Substack User ID and any comments provided on any current or future discussion board features on the Services.

For all User Submissions, you hereby grant Substack a license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your Content is viewable on an iPhone as well as a computer) and reproduce and otherwise act with respect to such User Submissions, in each case to enable us to operate the Services, as described in more detail below. This is a license only – your ownership in User Submissions is not affected.

If you share a User Submission publicly on the Services and/or in a manner that more than just you can view, or if you provide us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestions, improvements, enhancements, and/or feature requests relating to the Services (each of the foregoing, a “Public User Submission”), then you grant Substack the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Public User Submission for the purpose of making that Public User Submission accessible to all Substack users and providing the Services necessary to do so, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in that Public User Submission in connection with the Services provided that Substack will try to notify you if it uses your Public User Submission for any reason other than displaying it on the Services. Also, you grant all other users of the Services a license to access that Public User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.

You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and worldwide, provided that when you delete your Substack account, we will stop displaying your User Submissions (other than Public User Submissions, which may remain fully available) to other users, but you understand and agree that it may not be possible to completely delete that Content from Substack’s records, and that your User Submissions may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent that they were copied or stored by other users.

Finally, you understand and agree that Substack, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so.

What if I see something on the Services that infringes my copyright?

You may have heard of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), as it relates to online service providers, like Substack, being asked to remove material that allegedly violates someone’s copyright. We respect others’ intellectual property rights, and we reserve the right to delete or disable Content alleged to be infringing, and to terminate the accounts of repeat alleged infringers; to review our complete Copyright Dispute Policy and learn how to report potentially infringing Content, click here. To learn more about the DMCA, click here.

Who is responsible for what I see and do on the Services?

Any information or Content posted to the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated, and you access all such information and Content at your own risk, and we aren’t liable for any errors or omissions in that information or Content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services. We can’t guarantee the identity of any users with access to the Services and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Services.

You are responsible for all Content you contribute, in any manner, to the Services, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it. You will keep all your registration information accurate and current. You are responsible for all your activity in connection with the Services.

The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Substack. When you access third party websites or use third party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that Substack is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize.

Substack has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services (including, without limitation, the content, accuracy, or opinions in Publisher Newsletters). For example, as further described in the Privacy Policy, although Publishers are permitted to post their own EULA on their subdomain on the Platform and require End Users who subscribe to their Publisher Newsletters to agree to such EULA, Substack will not be liable for such relationship between Publishers and their End Users. In addition, Substack will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party site or service. By using the Services, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website or service.

Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Services, including payment for and distribution of Publisher Newsletters, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties (including, without limitation, Publishers). You agree that Substack shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.

In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users of the Services (including between Publishers and End Users) or with a third party, you agree that Substack is under no obligation to become involved other than to direct any inquiries from End Users regarding a Publisher’s Publisher Newsletter(s) to the appropriate Publisher pursuant to the Publisher Agreement between Substack and Publisher. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users of the Services or with a third party, you release Substack, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

Will Substack ever change the Services?

We’re always trying to improve the Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We’ll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this isn’t always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.

Do the Services cost anything?

A Publisher may offer the Publisher Newsletters for free or for a subscription fee, to be determined in Publisher’s discretion. End Users may choose to subscribe to Publisher Newsletters via the Services and may agree to incur any such subscription fees.

Publishers will set prices for their Publisher Newsletters through the Services, and may change the prices at their sole discretion through their Publisher account (provided no price changes shall apply retroactively). All prices will be set in U.S. Dollars, and any payments End User makes to Publisher or Publisher makes to Substack will be made in U.S. Dollars.

Publishers will use a third party payment processing company (“Third Party Payment Processor”) as determined by Substack to process payment information from End Users via the Services. Publisher will pay Substack through the Third Party Payment Processor as further described in the Publisher Agreement between Substack and Publishers. Publishers may create a payment dispute policy in their sole discretion to govern payment disputes between Publishers and End Users and, via a EULA, require that End Users agree to the terms of such payment dispute policy when End Users subscribe to Publishers’ Publisher Newsletters. ANY AMOUNTS PUBLISHER PAYS TO SUBSTACK THROUGH THE THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

Though End Users can download and access the Publisher Newsletters through the Services, please note that the Publisher Newsletters are being provided by a third party, the Publisher, and not by Substack, so we do not have any control over or responsibility for the Publisher Newsletters.

What if I want to stop using the Services?

You’re free to do that at any time, by contacting us at hello@substack.com; please refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Services.

Substack is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account, for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. Substack has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.

Account termination may result in destruction of any Content associated with your account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account. We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your account so that you are able to retrieve any important User Submissions you may have uploaded to your account (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone’s safety or security, or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of Substack.

If you have deleted your account by mistake, contact us immediately at hello@substack.com – we will try to help, but unfortunately, we can’t promise that we can recover or restore anything.

Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.

What else do I need to know?

Warranty Disclaimer. Neither Substack nor its licensors (including Publishers) or suppliers make any representations or warranties concerning any Content contained in or accessed through the Services, and we will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in or accessed through the Services. No part of the Services, including Publisher Newsletters, can or should be construed as professional advice of any kind (including business, employment, investment, accounting, tax, and/or legal advice).

We (and our licensors, including Publishers, and suppliers) make no representations or warranties regarding suggestions or recommendations of services or products (including Publisher Newsletters) offered or purchased through the Services. Products and services purchased or offered (whether or not following such recommendations and suggestions) through the Services, including Publisher Newsletters, are provided “AS IS” and without any warranty of any kind from Substack or others (unless, with respect to such others only, provided expressly and unambiguously in writing by a designated third party for a specific product). THE SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED BY SUBSTACK (AND ITS LICENSORS, INCLUDING PUBLISHERS, AND SUPPLIERS) ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL SUBSTACK (OR ITS LICENSORS, INCLUDING PUBLISHERS, OR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR (B) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF (I) $100 OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID AND/OR PAYABLE BY YOU TO SUBSTACK IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM, OR (III) ANY MATTER BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnity. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, You agree to indemnify and hold Substack, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and partners harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any third party claims relating to (a) your use of the Services (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), and (b) your violation of these Terms. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for your account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).

Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Services account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Substack’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.

Choice of Law. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

Arbitration Agreement.Please read the following ARBITRATION AGREEMENT carefully. it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Substack and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. Both you and Substack acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, Substack’s officers, directors, employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third party beneficiary hereof. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SUBSTACK ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

(a) Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in the County of San Francisco, California. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Costs of Arbitration. The JAMS rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Substack will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than $75,000. Substack will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.

(c) Small Claims Court. Furthermore, either you or Substack may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in the County of San Francisco, California or any United States county where you live or work.

(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND SUBSTACK WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and Substack are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Substack over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND SUBSTACK WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (g) below.

(f) Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out either by email at hello@substack.com or by mail, postmarked within 30 days of first accepting these Terms to the following address: Substack Inc, P.O. Box 720263, San Francisco, CA, 94172. Your notice (whether submitted via email or via mail) must include (1) your name and residence address; (2) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account; and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms’ arbitration agreement.

(g) Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (f), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or Substack to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party and both you and Substack agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in the County of San Francisco, California.

Miscellaneous. You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Services, provided that the Substack may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Substack agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Substack, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Substack, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Substack in any respect whatsoever. You and Substack agree there are no third party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.
